ABSTRACTThis document contains course materials for the

minimum general and Koch-specific requirements for the firesuppression training and education portion of the integratedindustrial emergency response team training program. The variouslevels of performance were developed with the National Fire standard600, Private Fire Brigades. The training is designed to providestudents with the minimum education and training to allow them to dothe following tasks: perform safely either offensive or defensivefire suppression duties; use portable fire extinguishers from outsidethe hot zone; and attach or control incipient fires at a specificsite. The 12 sections cover the following topics: duties andresponsibilities; chemistry and behavior of a fire; hazards; firesafety concepts; extinguishing agents; portable fire extinguishers;safety; fire attack techniques; automatic fire detection; automaticsprinkler protection; fire protect;on water supplies; and specialextinguishing systems. Each section contains objectives, references,and test questions. (KC)

Purpose of Training

Purpose of TrainingThe purpose of this course is to detail the minimum general and Koch-specific requirements for the fire suppression training and educationportion of the integrated industrial emergency response team trainingprogram. The various levels of performance have been developed with theNational Fire (NFPA) standard 600, Private Fire Brigades.

Fire Suppression Performance Levels of the Incipient IAt the Incipient I level, the industrial emergency responder is expected toperform, as a member of an organized team, assigned fire suppressionduties.

The duties:

1. Include both offensive and defensive operations limited to incipientfires,

2. Do not require the use of either approve thermal protective clothingor approved SCBA,

3. Do not require personal evasive action to avoid the products ofcombustion,

4. Are limited to the use of portable fire extinguishers.

3

I.Training GoalThe goal of the Koch-specific fire suppression training progiam at theIncipient I level is to assure that the industrial emergency responderstudent is provided with the minimum education and training to allow him orher to:1. Safely perform either offensive or defensive fire suppression

duties,

2. Utilize portable fire extinguishes from outside of the hot zone,

3. Attach and/or control incipient fires at a specific site.

At the end of this training course, you will:A. Understand the site-specific duties, responsibilities and limitations of

the Incipient I Fire Brigade to ensure the safety of the fire brigademember.

B. Analyze fire situations that are likely to occur at Koch to determinehow they are likely to behave.

C. Determine if and when fires are beyond the capability of the IncipientI Fire Brigade.

D. Understand the types and severity of the hazards found at Koch andthe role which they plan with regard to fire brigade operations.

E. Understand how the components of Koch's fire safety systeminfluence fire control and fire brigade operations.

F. Understand how the various fire extinguishing agents are used inextinguishing fires.

G. Select and explain the operation of the types of portable fireextinguishers used in the Incipient I Koch fire brigade.
